XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::works on the computer system trying to learn as much as possible::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
:: is exploring the other continents with the rest of the team and Ce'os::
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
XO: This place is pretty impressive isn’t sir.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::with the CO and Ce'os::
CNS_Chandra says:
::Walking with Ce'os::
OPS_Jankara says:
::scans the area carefully for any signs of a computer interface or other technology::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Ce'os: This is beautiful.
Host Ce’os says:
::nods:: CO: The Sustainer's have provided a bountiful gift...we welcome all.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Ce'os: I am glad because this is a good report going back to Starfleet Command.
Host Ce’os says:
::looks up as if hearing a voice:: ALL: Please forgive me, I am being called. Make yourselves welcome and explore all you wish. Should I not be able to return to you, safe Journey.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::raises an eyebrow::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: That doesn't sound good, Captain.
Host Ce’os says:
::nods once more:: CO: We are pleased. ::smiles as she closes her eyes::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
All: Safe journey?  Why don't I like the sound of that?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: You just said a mouthful.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
::searching area for any hazards::
OPS_Jankara says:
::shrugs:: CO: That could simply be their way of saying good-bye.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: I know, sir.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: Yes but there was something in the way she spoke that sent red flags into my mind.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
OPS: Figured out anything about the new technology?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
OPS: Sounds like trouble to me, too.
OPS_Jankara says:
<OPS_Schnapps> *OPS*: Lieutenant, we have a situation up here.  A bunch of crates just showed up in Cargo Bay 1.  I'm checking for evidence of a transporter now.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
CO: Captain crates are filled with foods from planets.
OPS_Jankara says:
*Schnapps*: Understood, keep me apprised.
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: Captain, the ship just reported that crates just appeared in the ship's cargo bay.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
CO: I am not getting any feelings of hostility from her Captain.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::looks at OPS with a puzzled look:: OPS: What????  Crates just don't arrive by themselves.  Have them quarantined.
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: They are checking for transporter activity now.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
CO: Captain was a crewmember thinking of food I am thinking of what was going on at the party.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: It is possible but for them to appear on the ship?  That is taking it a bit to far.
OPS_Jankara says:
*Schnapps*: Raise a quarantine field and inform security of the crates.
OPS_Jankara says:
<OPS_Schnapps> *OPS*: Yes, Ma'am.  Will do right away.  Don Johnson Out.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
<TO_Lopez>*TO_Nisan*: Crates are filled with food ma'am.
CNS_Chandra says:
::Begins to wander around, exploring::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Don't go to far please counselor.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: I keep wondering if the CNS is in his own little world, sometimes, sir.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
CO: Wonder what the range of the technology is captain.
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: Captain, I'm not finding much by way of technology here.  Should I return and help Commander Stidd?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: Well I don't think you could get back to the Exec with out the transporters.  But you can if you want to.
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: Well we were told to explore, weren't we. No time like the present sir.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: I don't know but I would like to find out.
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: If they used a transporter for those crates, it could be well within range.  It would be in range of our ships.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: Very true.
OPS_Jankara says:
*Schnapps*: Jankara to Don Johnson, lock on to my coordinates and transport me back to Commander Stidd's location.
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: I'll keep you updated on our progress there, Ma'am.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: Understood.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
Self: Fascinating.  Simply fascinating.
OPS_Jankara says:
<Schnapps> *OPS*: Transporting now.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Self: This is so weird but logical in some ways.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Lets go take a walk to see what else we find.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: I'm with you, Captain.  Let's go!
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
*Schnapps*: Transport me to XO’s location.
OPS_Jankara says:
::feels herself be transported to the computer room::
OPS_Jankara says:
<OPS_Schnapps> *TO*: Locking on now.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::walks off with the FCO::
OPS_Jankara says:
::starts to walk toward the XO when she hears another transporter hum::
OPS_Jankara says:
TO: Decided to follow me? ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Taps combadge:: *CO*: Stidd reporting.
Host Ce’os says:
::returns to where the majority of the DJ crew are and walks with the Counselor briefly before leaving again:: CNS: The Sustainers wish to give this continent to your people. You are welcome to bring people here at any time. The ability to wish for what they want will not be granted, but they will have all that they need to survive.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
OPS: Supposed to keep an eye on you and Commander Stidd.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Report Mr. Stidd.
CNS_Chandra says:
Ce'os: Please convey to the Sustainers our deepest thanks and regards and add that we are humbled by the gracious gift of which we gratefully accept.
OPS_Jankara says:
TO: Ah, a babysitter.  Not an easy job, especially for me.  ::grins::  Come on then. ::heads over to the XO::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
*CO*: I have been entirely wrong with my assumptions.  I have assumed that the higher order was the Sustainers, but it appears that that is not the case.  I am finding evidence that the Sustainers are the ancestors of Ce'os people.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Fascinating.  Now that I buy.
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: Ce'os had reported to me that we are the proud recipients of this lovely continent, sir.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: And just how did Ce'os tell you this without us seeing her?
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
*CO*: That also means that we could be looking at a form of slavery.  I will continue digging to see if I can find anything to prove or disprove that.
OPS_Jankara says:
::hears the XO's report to the CO::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Slavery?  Keep checking Number One.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::hears the report and is alarmed::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Slavery?  That doesn't bode well for us, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
*CO*: Agreed.  Stidd, out.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Yes it doesn't look or sound good for us.
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: How do you conclude slavery from ancestry, Commander?
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: She's just fast sir.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: A bit to fast I would say.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Continues to dig into the computer records for any proof one way or the other:: OPS: Think about it, the Sustainers are the lower level group and they are always working and doing for Ce'os' people.  It is logical and one that must be considered.
CNS_Chandra says:
Self: They should call her Thomas as much as she doubts things.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: What else did our friend Ce'os tell you in that short visit?
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: Sorry Sir, but you have me rather confused.  They are their ancestors yet at a lower level.  Isn't that true for all ancestry?  Your people used to be emotional savages.  That would make them lower than you.
OPS_Jankara says:
::moves back to the telepathic interface and plugs herself in::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
OPS: Yes, but we do not have those emotional Vulcan’s working for us now.  They do still exist, you know?
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: Guess it's the family, ::smiles:: My grandmother runs around cooking and cleaning all day because she loves it, not because she's enslaved to us.
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: That the power to have our wishes granted would not be allowed to us. I got the feeling they might think most other humanoids like yourself might be to ....slow to use it. She did say everything they need to survive would be provided for them.
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: Although I can sort of see your point of view.
Host Ce’os says:
ACTION: As Jankara enters the telepathic interface, she finds herself (mentally) transported to a time where all Ce’os people lived in want suffering needlessly. Those with strong telepathic abilities were able to move into another realm of existence. One where they could still communicate with the others, but where they could make things happen and help the others survive.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Well I guess that they think the human race is not ready to use their minds to think for or wish for things yet.  Some how I tend to agree.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Continues to work on the computers::
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: Whoa Nelly!  Commander! ::plops unceremoniously to the floor as her mind is flooded with images::
CNS_Chandra says:
Self: Speak for yourself.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Stops working and moves to the OPS:: Are you alright?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: So do, I, Captain.  You never know what we will wish for.
Host Ce’os says:
ACTION: The vision continues...those that had passed into this new realm discovered a way to manipulate matter to create a new world and ships to help the others survive. The ships were programmed and the sustainers as they now called themselves moved through space in search of this new world.
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: I'm fine. ::starts to process what she's seeing::  Commander, these people were, well poverty is an understatement.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Agreed there Lieutenant.
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: I'm seeing those who were telepathic were able to use their abilities.  It's almost like another dimension.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
OPS: Continue.
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: They created food and other resources for their families, for their people.  Wait...it's changing.
Host Ce’os says:
ACTION: The vision fades at the awakening of Ce’os and her people as they arrive in orbit.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
OPS: Are you getting touch and smell?
OPS_Jankara says:
TO: I'm not trying to touch, it's moving so fast.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I can't help but think that maybe you disagree with what Ce'os has done?
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: They created ships and renamed their group the Sustainers.
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: Commander, they learned how to create a planet using existing matter.
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: On the contrary, I quite believe most others would abuse this power sir.
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: Then they set up the ships to protect and care for their people.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Ah then you do agree with Ce'os.  So why the puzzlement?
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
*CO*: I have an update compliments of Miss. Jankara.  It seems that the Sustainers do what they do of their own free will.  They are trying to save their people.
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: Those people weren't slaves.  They were family.  They had an ability and used it to protect their children.  They sent them all here.  The last thing I saw was Ce'os and the others waking up on their ships.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::raises an eyebrow:: *XO*: What? Wait you mean to tell me that the Sustainers are related to Ce'os and her people?
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: Not puzzlement sir, just the old adage, one bad apple.....
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
*CO*: Slavery is no longer an issue in the equation.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Yes yes I know it well. One bad apple turns the whole barrel bad.
Host Ce’os says:
::returns to where the Counselor and Captain are once more:: CNS: The Sustainers have decided that they also will not interfere in anything that is done on this continent.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Ce'os: Wait.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: This is getting weirder and weirder, sir.
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: That those of who would use must be punished for the inability of a few races that can't.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: That is an understatement.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
*CO*: I stated that earlier with the idea of them being ancestors.
Host Ce’os says:
::nods to the Captain::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO; I know, sir, I’m good at that.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Yes I understand that.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Ce'os: Should my people decide to populate this continent, they would not be able to just think up what ever they wished correct?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Ce'os: I mean to have them wish and it suddenly appear.
Host Ce’os says:
::nods:: CO: Yes, that is correct. That is a gift that should not be overused.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
*CO*: I would be interested in speaking more with Ce'os now that I have more information.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Ce'os: I agree with you on that one whole-heartedly.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Well Number One she is here with us now.
OPS_Jankara says:
::continues her search for information while Stidd speaks with the Captain::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: We really need to get back with the others and compare notes before we do anything more.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Agreed, Captain.
OPS_Jankara says:
::finds more information and smiles, the visual she was shown is all confirmed::
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: The database confirms all I saw, Commander.  They are simply family helping each other.
Host Ce’os says:
ALL: I must not linger long, I have been chosen to join the sustainers. Myself and six others have demonstrated the abilities to achieve a higher plain of existence.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
*Ce'os*: Your communication with the Sustainers, How is it done since your people do not have the abilities?
OPS_Jankara says:
::wonders what it would be like to use her telepathy to such a degree::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Ce'os: Then how shall we communicate with your people?
Host Ce’os says:
*XO*/CO: All of our people have the ability to some degree, there will be other leaders that are brought forward and you will be able to work with them.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Ce'os: Ok so....what would the next ones name be then?
Host Ce’os says:
ALL: I will also be able to communicate with you, just as the Sustainers communicate with me. Though I will not be able to communicate to all of you.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Ce'os: Well then who would be the lucky one then?
Host Ce’os says:
CO: That has not been decided, but will soon. I will be able to communicate with those that are telepathic. You among them.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
*Ce'os*: I would volunteer myself.
OPS_Jankara says:
::frowns wondering how the XO could be a leader among Ce'os' people::
Host Ce’os says:
::nods:: ALL: I am called now.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Ce'os: I am partially telepathic myself.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
*CO*: I am telepathic also.
Host Ce’os says:
ACTION: Ce'os body begins to glow and a look of joy and peace fills her face as her body begins to fade.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Remembers the existence of Carla in his mind and he brushes against it briefly to confirm it is there::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: I know but......::watches Ce'os as she turns into nothingness::
Host Ce’os says:
ACTION: All telepaths in the group hear her voice. ~~~Do not be afraid, your contact will join you soon.~~~
OPS_Jankara says:
TO: Who isn't around here? ::giggles a little::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::raises an eyebrow again::
Host Ce’os says:
ACTION: All personnel are returned to the Don Johnson Bridge.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Nods without thinking about how it looks::
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
::Notices she is back on the bridge::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::realizes she's being transported to the bridge::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
ALL: What the......ok who is the joker?
Host Ce’os says:
